Ask a Scientist

Unfortunately I did not receive a response from Ask a Scientist regarding ability of bdelloid rotifers to survive extreme conditions. I also asked a question last Monday as to why dominate traits mask recessive traits, yet failed to receive an answer.

As far as how I would use this in my class, truthfully I probably wouldn't. The site sounds like a great idea, but after hearing that many submission go unanswered, I would not put my students up for the letdown of not having their questions answered.

I did find a site that allows students to email scientists that specialize in a specific field. This is something that would be worth trying! The site can be found HERE. Happy asking! :)
